Description

Originally from the United States, I have lived many years in Argentina. I am positive, curious, hard-working, and I like to jump in and help however I can. I like to work hard and to support kind people who are kindly supporting other people, animals and the environment around them.

Since 2013 I have mostly been moving from one ranch to another, focused on working for food and housing, and a sense of meaning, and trying to learn all I can.

At these ranches (guest and working ranches in Argentina, Montana, Nicaragua, Wyoming, and California) some of my jobs have included: leading guest rides and pack trips; cooking in kitchens and the backcountry; washing dishes and cleaning toilets; milking the cow and making the cheese; trucking horses; weeding; learning and teaching horsemanship; shopping for food and supplies; trimming and shoeing hooves; packing mules; building compost; chopping firewood; herding goats and sheep; helping with maintenance and construction; and So On.

These days I’m less focused on trying to find specific experiences, and more interested in seeing what unfolds. That said, I'm definitely drawn to living simply, working outdoors, and getting more involved in organic/regenerative food production.

I'm flexible and open to new experiences, but I do best when I’m spending lots of time outdoors, being physical, working hard.

In terms of kids, I don’t have my own but I’m definitely kid-friendly (lots of nieces and nephews!), love hanging out with them, learning from them, sharing a thing or two.

In terms of living conditions and personal space, I don’t care if I’m sleeping in a tent, a private room, or in a dorm. All good. I get along great with most people, and enjoy meeting new people, and hosting. At the same time, I definitely appreciate good stretches of alone time to recharge, and I can work independently for days at a time.

In terms of food, I try to be flexible, and feel grateful for whatever is served up. That said, more and more I’m interested in healthy, organic, whole foods. I enjoy cooking, and learning about nutrition.

In terms of language, I’m native in English (USA), and fluent in Spanish (Argentina). For a couple years I taught English, and I have tutored Spanish – and I would definitely enjoy giving you a Language Hand.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and good luck with all your projects.
